Phosphate/Zinc Interaction Analysis in Two Lettuce Varieties Reveals Contrasting Effects on Biomass, Photosynthesis, and Dynamics of Pi Transport
Figure 1
Zinc and phosphate treatment significantly alters Paris Island Cos and Kordaat growth capacity. 30-day-old Paris Island Cos and Kordaat lettuce varieties were grown and exposed to various zinc and phosphate concentrations in the culture medium (a). Shoot (b) and root (c) dry weight measured in different growth conditions for the Paris Island Cos and Kordaat lettuce varieties. Results are averages of three replicates ± SE. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared to either 0 M of Pi, 15 M Zn (left parts of (b) and (c)) or 500 M of Pi, 15 M Zn (right parts of (b) and (c)) treatments of each lettuce variety ().
